Voimaosakeyhtiö SF profile

source: http://www.voimaosakeyhtio.fi/en/tietoa.php as of August 9, 2013
"A group of Finnish companies had until now been left outside of the ownership of the reasonable priced nuclear energy. These companies founded Voimaosakeyhtiö SF in 2006. Next year Fennovoima's nuclear power plant project was started. In 2011 Fennovoima decided that its nuclear power plant will be built to Pyhäjoki.

The owners founded Voimaosakeyhtiö SF in order to get their own reasonable priced electricity production and through this the possibility to equal operational preconditions with the industry and electricity companies that own nuclear power already.

Voimaosakeyhtiö SF operates like a co-operative. All shareholders will get the electricity generated by Fennovoima's future nuclear power plant at cost price in proportion to their ownership.
